Advanced Pool contractors offer items to consider before getting a swimming pool

The prevalence of swimming pools in backyards is more noticeable in recent years as swimming pools are more affordable and families are looking for ways to have months of access to staycation fun in their backyard. Consider that a the price of a swimming pool is an investment that will last for decades while a family get away will last a week or two and could almost rival the cost of swimming pool construction. The swimming pool contractors from Advanced Pools, Inc. in Memphis, Tennessee explain items that potential pool owners need to consider before taking the plunge.

The cost of the pool construction and ongoing maintenance

Set a budget for both the construction and pool service before you meet with a pool contractor. You are better served to let your pool contractor know how much you have to spend before going in and having a $100,000 dream but a $50,000 budget. Your pool contractor will let you know there is more to the construction than the pool itself — you have to consider, the plumbing, pool equipment, accessories and maintenance after construction.

Where will it be locatedswimming pool construction

Knowing where you will place the swimming pool should be one of your first decisions. Do you want it in the middle of the yard? In a secluded corner of the yard? Off to one side or another? This is a big decision because once the pool is in, there’s no going back! Determine how you want to use your yard, how much you want to devote to the pool and what the outdoor living space will encompass.

Design and construction materials

Ask for a three dimensional rendering of what your yard will look like with the pool installed. An aerial view is also ideal, too. You will need to decide whether you want a concrete, fiberglass or vinyl liner pool. Also on the decision making scale are the shape and size of the pool.

Other decisions

A pool construction project means you will need to obtain building permits from the local zoning office, you will also want to talk with your insurance agent to make certain you are covered for liability if you have a pool installed. Don’t forget to invest in a swimming pool cover and budget for your swimming pool safety fence.
